Hi there! I'm Conor. I'm looking to make the most out of my International Experience Canada work program for the next two years.

I'm easygoing and open to trying new experiences in a wide range of roles. I try my best at whatever job I am given. I am motivated by humble and honest work, especially if it can make a difference to the lives of others.

In my free time I enjoy creative writing, working out and going on long journeys out into the outdoors.

Hope to work with you soon!

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Walk and play with my two ...)

My experience at Astrid's house for the month of June will be regarded as one of the most fond stays that I have had during my year's holiday across Canada. Astrid is a fascinating, intelligent and witty woman, who manages to find new ways to be productive during her days than I ever could. Astrid works twelve hour shifts in the local maternity… read more ward, so she is often out of the house, and yet her clear instructions and extremely manageable workload issued to me per day made me feel at ease, even when she wasn't around to give me pointers in the moment. Did I mention how good of a cook she is? Visit and taste for yourself!

A typical day had me working around four to five hours, usually beginning with walking the two dogs separately in the morning, before having a spot of lunch, and taking care of some practical matters around her house. Frankly, the house is in great nick already, so no major tradesman's skills were required. If you have even a lick of sense about painting, weeding, planting, watering, landscaping and dog sitting, you'll find this place a great place to stay.

Her family and boyfriend, Rod, are funny and insightful people to joke around with and talk whatever comes to your mind. Typically, you have the house to yourself most mornings and afternoons, so be prepared to make your own fun! Exploring the city is easy from Deep Cove, with bus access to Phibbs Exchange, the Seabus and more. When Astrid was off work, she offered to take me on many beautiful hikes, trips into town, and even for ice cream once in a while. Oh, and she's keen to show her skills and teach them to you. Ever wanted to learn more about working as a medical professional? She was happy to demonstrate all sorts of tools and tips of the trade, along with some hilarious anecdotes from her time working as one. She even taught me how to revive an old favourite recipe from home: Irish style soda bread! Her cooking skills made me feel as if I was tasting what my gran would have served back home. She is a local resident of Vancouver, born and raised. Feel free to ask her about the city, she typically has a recommendation to offer!

The house is far from spartan; you have access to all the amenities. A good shower, reliable WiFi, an electric bike with storage space, a double bed, most of whatever is in the fridge that day, and above all - two adorable dogs to dote over.

I cannot recommend coming over to Deep Cove to visit Astrid and Co. enough. This place makes a great first Workaway, or - like me - a final stay in your trip. There's no better way to embrace a relaxed life in Vancouver than here! I was her first person she hosted, but she had the whole Workaway routine licked down, like she had been doing this for years. I'm honoured to have been able to work alongside the people and pets at this home!

vom Host für Workawayer ()

Conor spent most of the month of June, 2024 with me and he definitely exceeded my expectations! A very good work ethic, personable, performed all tasks efficiently and a very good communicator. Conor walked my 2 dogs for several hours daily (one dog reactive and one dog very high energy so they did pose a bit of a challenge), he weeded my entire… read more

I ended up calling Conor the "Comeback Kid", because he stayed at the farm not once but twice! And he would be welcome a third time, if he so chose.
He's a very intelligent, sensitive, articulate and interesting young man – with a lovely British accent! ;-)
We all enjoyed his funny stories and self-deprecating humour. He is willing to learn and… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help on a small homestead ...)

This farm - what a wonderful experience. The friends I made, trips we took, and lifestyle we shared, I can safely say that no other place during my year long stay in Canada so far has treated me so warmly.

Jacqui is an amazing, skilled and intelligent host, one who I shared many very interesting conversations and laughs with. She was a patient… read more

The House and all the wonderful people who live in and regularly stop by will remain a truly great part of my journey through Canada. Located in Marysville, you will stay in a beautifully restored and characterful lakeside cottage, one stands as a testament to the lifestyle that its wonderful owner, Heidi is building for herself there. The island… read more

My time at Patrick and Amy's lodge was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Nestled among the untouched wilderness around fifty kilometers east of Sudbury, you will find yourself in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the province. Pristine lakes, bright starry skies, and woodland that always left me coming back to find a new trail to… read more

My time at Dave's hostel was an experience along my Canadian journey that I will look on with some of the most fond memories of all. Located along the bay in Fort William, I found the hostel to be in great proximity to a wide range of unforgettable hikes (Signal Hill, Quidi Vidi, Dead Man's Trail, Fort Amherst), fantastic live music (I danced so… read more

I really stumbled upon a hidden gem by staying for a month at Mike and Paul's wonderful farm. The views, trails and bike rides in the surrounding area were fantastic, the work was very manageable, and the accommodation provided was top notch.

I stayed in my own personal cabin, complete with kitchen, bathroom, and WiFi that I'm going to be real… read more

Conor helped us out for 4 weeks in August/September 2023. We are pleased to say he was a great addition to our place. We had great conversations, he was ok with hanging out as well as giving us space when required. He was a great worker. Helped with lots of projects. Major projects he worked on include cleaning up a fallen barn (hurricane damage).… read more

Marian was a fantastic host to stay with. Her diligence to uphold a good work ethic rubs off on you, and her witty humour always made living alongside her and her tenants (including the cat) all the more enjoyable. At the end of my two weeks, it was like I was hanging out with good friends, rather than my host and fellow residents.

Marian took me… read more

To say I was lucky to have Kevin and Jennifer as my first Workaway experience fresh off the boat in Canada would be a severe understatement. I had never really had any experience on a farm before, yet despite this, Kevin and Jennifer were patient, keen to teach me and were always around to lend a hand if I was in need of any further help, such as… read more
